Tarlach. Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Has anyone seen this on Ebay Pegasus 35 Motor Boat Twin Perkins Diesel Turbo T6354 6 berth This statement is the second to last in the advert.“As with any boat this age there is ongoing maintenance”!I think personally Ray, if you only have £6k then your not going to get anything good within that budget, you will have to spend loads to keep what you get up together. As Jim said , probably best to save up and buy a newer boat as and when your budget can be grown !

Raymond Ellerton Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I know but i need a boat now and can get a better one next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Wooden hull = lots of work to maintain + it is 50% above your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarlach. Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I know but i need a boat now and can get a better one next season. But then you would have to try and sell an old boat to a limited market just to purchase another !! Does not make sense Ray, really is best to wait til next season and save your money until then !

Maverick Martin Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ray imo your best course of action would be as Neal (Tarlach) and Jim (Small Fry) say, keep the money and save. You can get your fishing fixes in the short term by hitching/crewing on other club boats. Obviously it's your call and boats are a very personal and emotive subject. Good luck with whatever you decide to do Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Very good advice. The " but I want it now ! " is what us boys tend to do ! Followed by . . . . . . " Why the Bl**dy hell didn't I listen " But as Martin said. " It's up to you " When a woman says " It's up to you " it means " Don't you flipping dare " Jim ( Tiddler ) Tarlach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Ellerton Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Thanks Gents i do Know the advise is good . How ever are there any none boat owner members who would be interested in a part owner ship. splitting all cost evenly could be interesting to some members ?

Jim Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 2 hours ago, gonorn said: One word for you Jim, Barracuda Indeed Mike ! I'd seriously consider a share but am unable to do so at the moment. Jacqui asked yesterday if we were going out this evening but I said no. We wouldn't have got on the water before 6:45 to 7:00 If I had some dosh I'd love a bigger boat on a dry stack or maybe a pontoon. We were going to go out on Friday but not wise taking a lady out in Thunder storms. It could put her off !. Good luck Ray but be careful of spending all your money on a bucketful of trouble.
